What do you think about coloured plaiting bands? Tacky or really cute?
I ask because I kit out my white-grey mare in bright, summer blue - not overly so, but I'll use a blue numnah, tendon boots, whip and fly veil. I was browsing the horsey sections of eBay (as you do!) and came across plaiting bands in the most beautiful shade of blue!
Trouble is, everyone I've chatted to about them have been very dismissive, from wondering what the point would be, to equating them to the hair ribbons and fripparies of lead-rein showing classes. Though I think Lola would look fantastic plaited with blue bands in her white mane! Obviously you could use them for fun rides, schooling and days out, but I wonder if they're legal for lower level shows and dressage and things?
